Pride & Prejudice (2005) FAN Blog

My  P&P (2005) movie's 20th Year Anniversary  celebratory posts continues... I previously posted here about the  main cast  and  supporting cast  of  Pride & Prejudice  (2005) whose careers soared and have continued to be busy after their  P&P (2005) film . I thought I'd include the people or rather the key players  behind the scenes  who made this stunningly  beautiful movie  happen as without them, this film adaptation of Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice (novel) wouldn't have been made. Also, some of them are incredibly talented and you may (or may not) have been surprised to have seen their familiar work in other well-known award-winning films. Plus, director  Joe Wright   not only love working with his actors from P&P in his other films, but he also loves working with the same production crew. See  JW  and some of his  P&P (2005) film crew  (with photos to see ...

Pride & Prejudice (2005) Fan Blog Celebrates 18 Years Online! On this day ( May 29th, 2007 ), exactly  eighteen years  ago, I started this little  P&P fan blog . Wow, it's been  18  long years !!! I can't believe it's been  18 years  already!!! It seems just like yesterday, I was a just newbie to Blogger...and was learning and figuring out how to post, let alone, add codes and contents to this blog. I never would’ve thought I'd be blogging about all things  P&P , not too mention this long, but it's all because of my continued love and appreciation for this  2005 movie version  of  Pride & Prejudice   and the amazing actors who portrayed my favorite  P&P characters  brilliantly on this  4th-time Oscar nominated  film. I've really enjoyed blogging here and posting all things  P&P  (though in recent years it's been mostly about  P&P actors  and their  TV ...

Today ( May 28th ), is the 40th birthday  of three-time  Academy Award Nominee*  (and  BAFTA award winner  for  Best Actress  in  An Education *, Promising Young Woman*, Maestro*)  and  Tony Award nominee  (for Broadway play  Skylight  as  Kyra Hollis ),  Carey Mulligan ,  best known to us,  P&P movie fans,  as  Kitty Bennet  (and also as  Isabella Thorpe  in   Northanger Abbey )!

Wow, okay, I can't believe I forgot to post about this here (thankfully, I posted it on IG and can share the post I made about it) last year! So, I'm posting a throwback here with some more photos I didn't share last year, as it's been a year already since I visited Stourhead & Gardens (since I went on a holiday to London and Paris last year) last May 24, 2024 ! This day trip was so memorable and unforgettable experience for me (bucket list. Check!) finally visiting Stourhead , one of the filming locations for Pride & Prejudice (2005) movie. The iconic and fan-favorite first proposal in the rain scene was film there at Stourhead & Gardens especially the palladium bridge where Elizabeth Bennet run through just before Mr. Darcy proposed to her at The Temple of Apollo . Check out some photos below, which I took from Stourhead last May 2024 and see my IG posts video clips of the stunningly gorgeous place. I highly recommend you visit there, if you haven't...
